Post by: Devilock on April 06, 2013, 04:48 PM: Are Gsports a bit cheaper now?

Looks so good with the chrome.
Title: Re: my new s&m wtf
Post by: kev-s on April 06, 2013, 04:53 PM: not really

ribcage rims are £80 each

marmoset hub £80

ratchet hub £140

so once you add in spokes your looking at around £400 for a set of wheels

also the ratchet is now discontinued so very limited choice of colour out there etc..

george has said the ratchet's replacement will be along in a few months, a bit smaller and lighter too

Post by: SaMAlex on April 06, 2013, 10:19 PM: Very nice. We need to compare notes on a few things. Spline drive chainrings, enclosed dropouts. I'll show you my chain adjusted idea if it works.
